Blackfish City by Sam J. Miller
3.25
challenging dark reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes

Fell in love with the world and language of the novel. Love switching POV’s per-chapter and enjoyed how varied the cast was; thank you representation. Grew continuously more and more obsessed with everything the novel had to offer up until the final act where it all seemed to fall apart and get lost in itself. The tension that had been so meticulously built for each character and the city itself just kind of…sputtered out. The payoff nonexistent.
